458wm reloading question

[malcome83]

Quick question for you guys. Recently aquired some 458wm reloading supplies. Two 20rd boxes of reloads. Each box is labeled 300gr with 72gr of IMR 3031. My question is related to how the ammo looks. 20rds is seated like the one on the left. The other 20 look like the one on the right. Appears not seated all the way down like the left one. Like I said it's 20 of each. Would these be go to go in your opinions? Wanted to ask because reloads can questionable and dangerous if not done right.

I'll never shoot someone else's reloads unless I know them VERY well and trust their skills. I'd pull those down, dump the powder in the lawn, reprime with known primers, and reload the brass to my own specs.

The one on the right appears to be seated to the cannelure.
The bullet on the left looks to be seated deeper for reasons unknown.
Neither look to have been crimped.

+1. I wouldn’t shoot them, and if you want to know I’d check a reloading manual to verify the cartridge OAL and where to crimp.

Add to that those are 300gr 45-70 bullets

Safest way to remove the bullet? I've never done it

Safest way to remove the bullet? I've never done it

I've tried them all and found the RCBS collet bullet puller is my favorite for speed and not damaging the pulled bullets. One needs a reloading press to use a collet puller.

You will need a .45 Caliber collet,

Most of us start out with a kinetic puller,

The kinetic hammer-type pullers work but are a pain if one has a large quantity to pull.

The above items are available from most reloading suppliers and Amazon.

My next question and huge favor. I don't have the steadiest hands due to mild onset Parkinsons. Just mild to moderate tremors. The rifle I purchased came with 150 pieces of brass and dyes. If I supply,powder,primers and bullets. Would someone here reload them for me? Guys around me are into modern smaller calibers. I would honestly trust you all more being part of this group.

Loading ammo for others is potentially a large liability! If anything bad happens while shooting that ammo, the injured shooter or their heirs could sue the crap out of the loader. Further, if the loader accepts any money for it, they need Type 06 FFL.

I do however assist local friends at my home while they load their ammo.

And there is the shipping the powders and primers they require a hazmat license.
It would be better to find a local person to help you.

Where are you located?

Don't know how others here on the forum do things. But I don't reload ammo for someone else unless I have the weapon in hand. It's a matter of being safety conscious. Then a matter of producing the most accurate cartridge for that particular weapon.

If you are within a comfortable driving distance I would be happy to make up some ammo for you. And perhaps get a little big bore range time in.

Edit: To clarify that last sentence. The intent is that we could both get a little big bore range time at a range convenient to both of us to insure you are satisfaction with the reloads for your rifle.

I would never reload ammo for another person.
I have offered to “assist”, but no takers.

Google Superior Ammunition they are in the buisness and have been for awhile.

I live in Michigan's upper Peninsula and would be happy to help if you are located close by.

I think you should seek the services of a professional with a type 6 FFL; they will have the tools, expertise, and the insurance to do what you want done safely and legally.

Ok this put a smile on my face.

Those who reload have the equipment- tools they need to reload with, usually in excess.

Expertise comes with many years and high volume of reloading. Make a little mistake live and learn not to do it again. Make a big mistake: best case seniero live to tell about, worse case seniero won't have to worry about making any more mistakes....RIP.

Safety: Is Every Reloaders Main Priority!!

Legally:

1. It is legal to reload for self and others.

2. Commercial [reloading and] manufacturing of ammunition with intent to sell does require various local, state, and federal licensing.

In this case the OP would be proving the components....hopefully under the proper guidance {ie provided shopping list of} components the person - an experienced reloader that will be reloading for him.

3. Yes, there are circumstances OUTSIDE THE [RELOADERS] MANUFACTURER'S CONTROL: Read the--Disclaimer(s)--Warning label(s)---on and/or inside Every ammunition container.

Insurance:

Don't ask the person that doesn't like you to reload ammunition for you.

Don't use modern smokeless powder ammuntion meant for modern firearms in "antique" Black Powder Only or in "weaker" manufactured firearms.

Don't use reloaded ammunition if you don’t know who reloaded it!!

Seriously Legal suits and Insurance claims play the "what if..." scenarios all day if you want. People who reload and especially those who reload for others will only reload safe ammunition.

I should’ve perhaps been more specific. If any form of payment or remuneration is involved then the reloader would be considered a manufacturer of ammunition and therefore subject to the licensing requirements. Aside from that, the OP could rest assured that his ammunition is being loaded by a competent manufacturer, rather than a stranger met through a trustworthy chat forum.
